Long-term consequences of polycystic ovary syndrome on cardiovascular risk
2009
Most available data suggest that the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is smaller than expected based on risk calculations during fertile years; therefore, more studies are needed on long-term cardiovascular consequences. Evidence is accumulating that postmenopausal women with PCOS have an increased risk of cerebrovascular events and cardiovascular morbidity. These events are partially related to persisting hyperandrogenism but are mostly correlated with excessive body weight (mainly visceral obesity); this suggests that our best long-term strategy is to ensure that women with PCOS are informed about their high risk for metabolic and cardio…
Uztura atbilstība ziemeļvalstu diētai un adipozitātes saistība Latvijas vispārējā populācijā
2022
Mērķis Šajā darbā izklāstītā pētījuma vispārējais mērķis bija novērtēt Jaunās Ziemeļvalstu diētas (JZD) rezultāts, novērtējiet saistību starp JZD punktu (JZDP) skaitu un vispārējo, vēdera un viscerālo aptaukošanos, izmantojot Jaunās Ziemeļvalstu diētas rezultātu kā rādītāju diētas ievērošana un antropometriskie mērījumi, tostarp ĶMI, viduklis apkārtmērs (VA), sagitālais vēdera diametrs (SAD) un vidukļa un gurnu attiecība (VGA) kā aptaukošanās indikatoru. Materiāls un metodes Dizains Pētījums ir potenciālā kohorta. Galvenā ekspozīcija bija ekspozīcija un Jaunās Ziemeļvalstu diētas ievērošana tiek klasificēta kā zema, vidēja un augsta adhēzija. Galvenais iznākums bija vispārēja, vēdera un vis…
Assessment of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht in pre- and postmenopausal women
2007
The main goal of this study was to determine whether and how values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht indicators change in pre- and postmenopausal women. The tested group consisted of 10,216 women aged 25-95 years. Data were collected during the national campaign "Fighting Obesity", organized by Hand-Prod Company between 2000-2002 across Poland, when adult women voluntarily filled in a questionnaire and participated in anthropometric measurements. The BMI, WHR and W/Ht values were calculated based on these measurements. The values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht change with age. However, in each age group postmenopausal women have higher BMI, WHR and W/Ht than premenopausal women. Thus, the results obtaine…
Visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome: two faces of the same medal?
2009
In this review, we have analyzed the role of visceral obesity in the occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a common metabolic disorder that has been related recently to the increasing prevalence of obesity. The disorder is defined in various ways, but in the near future a new definition(s) should be applicable worldwide. The pathophysiology has been largely attributed, in the past years, to insulin resistance, although several epidemiological and pathophysiological data now indicate visceral obesity as a main factor in the occurrence of all the components of MetS. In view of this, relationships among visceral obesity, free fatty acids, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance have bee…
Predictive factors of polycystic ovary syndrome in girls with precocious pubarche
2021
Objective: The aim of this study is to clarify, in girls with premature pubarche (PP), the influence of premature androgenization on the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design and patients: Ninety-nine PP girls, 63 who developed PCOS and 36 who did not develop PCOS, were retrospectively included. Clinical, anthropometric, and metabolic parameters were evaluated at the time of diagnosis of PP and after 10 years from menarche to find predictive factors of PCOS. Results: Young females with PP showed a PCOS prevalence of 64% and showed a higher prevalence of familial history of diabetes (P = 0.004) and a lower prevalence of underweight (P = 0.025) than PP-NO-PCOS. In addition, g…
